Hundreds of abandoned vintage cars found inside Fukushima’s disaster zone

HUNDREDS of abandoned vintage cars including Porsches, Jaguars and luxury hearses were found inside Fukushima’s exclusion zone.

The remarkable discovery comes as urban explorer Bob Thissen travelled to Japan to explore the deserted region once showered in radiation.

In 2011, the northern city was laid to waste after an accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

This disaster was triggered by an earthquake, measuring 9.01 on the Richter scale, which then caused a tsunami that subsequently destroyed the reactors at the plant.

As a result of the fallout, the Fukushima exclusion zone was created – with more than 160,000 locals being evacuated.

But creepy pictures have revealed hundreds of motors that were abandoned on the fateful day in March.

The 34-year-old documentary maker visited the exclusion zone after reports of freaky old car dealerships that still remained intact.

The cars are reportedly worthless because the radiation levels in their metal rendered them not fit for purpose.

Bob said: “It was a sad sight to see these collectibles in a bad shape.

“Especially when you know every car had an owner, who couldn’t retrieve their vehicle.”

The man claimed most of the vehicles were found in the affected villages near the nuclear power plant.

Bob said: “Some fields have been used to dump cars, which were collected from the streets.

“I believe most of them are irretrievable because many cars were parked outside and nuclear particles penetrated them.

“There were countless cars in the exclusion zones and former exclusion zones.

“Over the years, some cars got town away but there’s still a large number of them left.”

Some of the cars Bob found included a Porsche 911 Carrera, Nissan Skyline, Mercedes S Class, whacky Japanese hearse cars, a Chevrolet Impala SS and a Jaguar XJ.
